Okay, don't get me wrong, this commentary (and the fic itself!) is awesome, but now it makes me sad! Because I figured all along that they'd gloss over this issue (which I think was part of the conversation in my journal), but now it's like, for all we know, they're ALREADY having sex offscreen!

And I agree about Bonnie not having a family or a house! A friend and I were talking about that a while back, trying to remember the deal with Bonnie's parents!

Kat gave an interview and said that Bonnie was a virgin! I don't know if she meant it, but it's at least something she's thought about then since I don't think that would just trip off her tongue otherwise. I'm just going to hold onto that thought.

Her mom left and her dad is really distant. That's about as far as they've gone with explaining it. She should have a house! Even Matt has a house and Matt doesn't have anything else.

Oh nice! I'll hold onto that thought, too!

That's what we thought! Yeah, was it your journal where I saw conversation recently about how Bonnie/everyone who's not the main three are just TOO ignored? Because YEAH. They really, really are.

Probably? It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately. There's so much I love about the show, but the amount I love the side characters has been growing and growing and that makes it much harder to ignore the rest of it.

And I feel bad for continuously bringing it up, I'm not trying to deny anyone their joy, but it is a real problem with the show. That someone might be happy with the main storyline doesn't mean the flaws go away.
